As the daughter of a pastor, the expectation was that, she would join the church choir and make her dad proud.

But Eno opted to follow her dream to be the best female rapper in Ghana.

She then went for a rap competition and her segment was aired on TV to the admiration of her mother and siblings.

But her father was not enthused and lashed her for violating the house rules.

“It was a Saturday morning, so, at 5 pm, he sat and watched me perform. After that, I was reprimanded because I was a reverend minister’s daughter and I went to do rap music wearing a short skirt,” she recounted in an interview on Accra-based Citi TV.

But now, Eno said her father has accepted her craft and is very proud of her celebrity status.

“My dad will still tell you Jesus is the only celebrity I know” she added.

Speaking in an interview on Joy Prime’s Prime Morning show, Eno Barony delved into her deep connection with music and the pivotal role it plays in her life. Sharing her thoughts on the symbiotic relationship between herself and her art, the Ghanaian rapper passionately stated, “I am music, and music is me.”

During the interview, Eno Barony shared her passion for writing, which she said plays a significant role in her creative process. She revealed that she not only enjoys writing lyrics but also takes an active part in scripting her music videos.

According to her, “I like writing, most of my videos, I am part of scripting and everything.”

Eno’s involvement in the scripting process highlights her dedication to maintaining control over her artistic output and ensuring that her music and visuals are authentic representations of her personal experiences and perspectives.

This multidisciplinary approach to her craft further solidifies her status as a well-rounded artist who continues to push the boundaries of creativity in the music industry.

She revealed that she considers herself an introvert. Despite her introverted nature, she finds comfort in the presence of her dancers.

“I have fun when my dancers are in my house,” she told her interviewers.

The rapper’s dedication to her art has earned her a plethora of accolades, including being crowned the first female rapper to win the coveted “Best Rapper” award at the 2021 Ghana Music Awards. Despite her successes.

Eno Barony remains grounded and committed to her personal growth, both as an artist and an individual.

Speaking on Daybreak Hitz, Eno argued that, women put in double the effort than men for recognition in the same field.

“Every woman who finds herself in a male-dominated area has to work a thousand times harder and not just female rappers. They, call it a man’s world and so no matter how good you are, that thing that ‘she is a girl what can she do’ is always there so you need to keep proving yourself” she said.

Eno believes that, more support for women in the industry could help change the narrative.

“I don’t think the narrative will ever change, we should support ourselves more because women create more employment in the industry. I don’t think the support should just come from the industry, even the government should be part of the support. Women supporting women shouldn’t be just about musicians supporting musicians but it should be everywhere.” She said.

Planning & Plotting concert is slated for December 16 at La Palm Beach Hotel in Accra.

In a strategic move to reconcile with his rivals, Medikal extended an olive branch Eno Barony ahead of the concert.

Referring to her as his “ex-girlfriend”, he urged her to join him on stage to create an enjoyable musical experience together.

But music lovers are divided following Medikal’s proposal. A faction support the initiative but others think it will go south and could deepen the rivalry.

Scheduled for September 10 at the Accra International Conference Center (AICC), the event will celebrate and recognize the efforts of women who have stood out in their respective fields of endeavors in the year under review.

According to her management, she is poised to thrill the audience with some jams like Heavy Load, Ay3ka, Only Jah, Don’t Judge Me Waring, among others.

A poet will be recited by Miss Kidi III’s third runner-up, Princes Xornam.

Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of ASKOF Productions Limited Afua Asantewaa Aduonum expressed optimism about the highly anticipated event.

“It’s that time of the year again and as usual Team ASKOF is ready to celebrate our hardworking women. The parting on the backs of respective winners has to a large extent encouragd more women to embark on charity projects, which eventually shapes society.”

Winners of each category will be presented with plaques and citations.

In a spontaneous move, Eno Barony invited a student to join her on stage, and during the performance, one of her plus-size dancers surprised the audience by doing a split and jumping onto the student who was lying on the floor.

However, some social media users expressed concern over the impact of the landing on the student, questioning whether he was hurt.

He explained that Eno Barony out-rapped him when they were given the floor to exhibit their rap talent.

“I remember the first time I was on the radio station with her when I saw her, she out-rapped me, I was like ‘oh my goodness, who is this one?’” he said in an interview with the BBC.

He described the presence of Eno Barony in the music space as the “breaking of the glass ceiling moment.”

Commenting on male dominants in the Ghana music industry, rapper M.anifest said the industry is still sexist, thus preventing a lot of women from joining the industry.

He explained that it is difficult for women to operate in the industry, adding they are unable to do some of the things their male counterparts have the privilege of doing.

“The truth about why there aren’t many women involved in hiplife and in the music space is that the space unfortunately is still quite sexist.

“It is difficult for a woman to operate in these spaces, whether it is as simple as night sessions in the studio,” M.anifest said.

M.anifest noted that every successful music scene in the world is flooded with women, adding “So, if we want to succeed, bring the gals dem[sic].”

However, Eno Barony who also spoke to BBC in an interview revealed that she was dealing with some insecurities because many people questioned her weight following her break into the music industry.

Eno Barony said it was deemed as if her weight had an influence on the music she makes.

“When I came into the music scene, I never saw girls my size. Most of the girls I was seeing were, let me say skinnier.

“People were talking about my image so much. Why are you like this? Why are you not going to look like this, and stuff? So it was bothering me.

The rapper said that she grew to be confident despite comments and criticisms about her weight.

“When I accepted myself for who I am, I did a song called ‘Heavy Load’, and I realised oh, I have fans who are just like me and are looking up to me, the way I dress, everything I do,” she said,

Eno Barony who was optimistic about women succeeding in the music scene added that “So if you see a woman doing anything male-dominated, you don’t doubt it.”

Since she found her feet in music, Eno has received nominations and awards at every VGMA awards night, leaving her to wonder what she could have done wrong to be snubbed this year.

The nominations were announced about a week ago, and despite submitting two of her hit songs, Don’t Judge Me and Finish Line, she did not fall in any of the about 20 categories.

According to Eno, she had hopes of being nominated for the Best Rapper/song and Best Hip Hop artiste/song, which are obvious categories she would have won in because they fall in her genre.

“I think the names of my song Don’t Judge Me played a role because I said they shouldn’t judge me and they didn’t so they took me out,” she made jest of the situation in an interview with Doreen Avio on Hitz FM.

“My songs have done very well in the year under review. Check the online charts, my songs have topped almost everywhere”.

Ordinarily, Eno would not voiced out her displeasure, but she said being vocal is needed in the battle for herself as well as other female rappers.

She opined that it is a shame no female rapper is representing in this year’s award.

That notwithstanding, the ‘Heavy Load’ composer said her management has reached out to the board but they are just to be given a feedback.

Despite the disappointment, Eno assured to work harder for her works to be recognised in next year’s edition.

“Awards don’t define me; Eno will still be Eno. It hurts because I have worked and I deserve to be recognised but in all, we work harder”.

Speaking in an interview with Andy Dosty on Daybreak Hitz, he mentioned that he listened to a verse by Eno Barony while driving through town and he was totally blown away.

He told Andy Dosty that she even raps better than many male rappers in Ghana.

“You no sey Eno Barony dey rap? I dey drive wey I dey listen one of her songs on the radio, her verse was really dope. For a female rapper, she is very dope. She dey rap pass plenty of the male rappers in Ghana apart from me,” he said in Pidgin English.

The argument about who is the best rapper in the country has been one that has been had countless times on various platforms. From social media to traditional platforms, many do not count the likes of Eno Barony out when listing their top rappers.

Medikal, however, believes that though he does not write Eno Barony off, he still is a better rapper than she is and will always beat her in a rap battle.

In the interview, he said that he cannot be compared to other rappers because he is in a different league.

“You know sey me I dey my zone. I dey do my things different. You no go fit pair me plus any other rapper. I will be the judge. You for putting me then am for one song top I go show sey women empowerment no dey work for my top. I go lash am,” he said in Pidgin English.

Medikal is currently on a radio tour promoting his song with ex-girlfriend Sister Deborah titled cold and trophies.

He has also announced the release of his upcoming album dubbed ‘Planning and Plotting’.

At the event, there were numerous musical performances from various artistes.

Upcoming artistes opened the show and took the centre stage to thrill patrons at the fun-filled event.

Other mainstream acts also showed off their prowess.

Music stars including Kuami Eugene, Keche and Eno Barony also graced the stage and with exciting performances.

Speaking in an interview with Asieduwaa Akumia on Prime Morning, on Friday, she indicated that it was difficult disclosing her career breakthrough to her parents, as they never wanted her to involve herself in secular activities.

Born into a Christian home, she indicated that listening to gospel songs was the only alternative, as her father did not condone secular activities. According to her, the circumstances in which she found herself made it difficult for her to open up to her parents after discovering her talent.

“Even boys who want to do rap find it difficult to convince their parents, especially responsible ones, to talk less of a girl who wants to do rap. ‘What will a girl be doing hip-hop for?’ is what they used to say. So I was hiding it in the beginning, and I hid it to the point that I couldn’t hide it any more, because I was on TV, and I was everywhere,” she said.

She further recounted how she had to run away from home just so she could pursue her career, as her parents were not happy with her kind of talent.

Being the first female rapper to win Rapper of the Year at the 3Music Awards in 2021, Eno Barony revealed that she discovered the skill at age 14.

When asked how the relationship with her father is, she said, “we are cool.”

She promised her father she would never venture into music to enable her to focus on her studies, and her parents became angry at her change of mind. This, she said, stemmed from the feud between her parents and herself.

But she revealed that her father currently supports her music through prayers, as she is not dragging her family’s name through the mud.

Born to a pastor, she stated that her picture was put before the church and prayed against her kind of talent, as they believed it is not from God.

Speaking to Asieduwaa Akumia on Prime Morning, on Friday, she indicated that her church members thought her music is demonic. They believed she was possessed.

“I remember they put my picture in the church and prayed over it that my music shouldn’t work and nothing should work for me,” she said.

When asked about her relationship with her father, she stated that “we’re cool, though in the beginning it wasn’t easy.”

The hip-hop rapper went on to reveal how she ran away from home to be able to establish her music career.

She said, “I was hiding it in the beginning. I hid it to the point that I couldn’t hide it anymore because I’m on TV and everywhere, and it became an issue. I had to run away from the house.”

Though she could not listen to secular music at home, she had the ambition to become a rapper.

The rap goddess affirmed that her music career was inspired by Abrewa Nana and Mzbel.

She urged the public to stop judging the secular musicians by their appearance, saying everyone is different in their own way.

The song, which is currently trending at number 5 on YouTube, has raked in over 70,000 views in less than 24 hours.

Don’t Judge Me gained the buzz when fans realised Eno Barony teamed up with the son of Archbishop Duncan Williams of Action Chapel International, Daniel Duncan-Williams for the song.

The duo, both growing up in Christian homes, shushed critics that lambast them for toeing the secular trend in the showbiz fraternity.

As part of her activities lined-up for her 31st year on earth, the rapper gave what belongs to God during the outdooring of media personality Gifty Anti’s grandson.

She took over the podium to give a powerful rendition of Christiana Love, now Obaapa Christy’s Beko Mame and the audiences could relate with her testimony of praise.

Clad in a decent pink two-piece suit wear, she was accompanied by some instrumentalists who played her a soft tune to complement her melodious voice.

Media personality Gifty Anti and other pious Christians approached the altar to applaud the songstress for going out of her comfortable zone to offer ministration to God.

Posting snippets of the performance on her social media pages, she added that the song is a prayer she is offering for her fans.

According to him, her dexterity, composition, choice of words and wordplay among other elements when it comes to doing music are extraordinary.

He made this comment during an interview with blogger and music critic Kwadwo Sheldon on a recent show.

Medikal was asked to mention names of rappers tied to bars that were being mentioned to him, and he was basically impressed by the fact that most of the dope lyrics that stemmed out were composed by her.

Other names that popped out frequently were the likes of Strongman, Kofi Mole and M.anifest among other noteworthy musicians.

Interestingly, it is quite surprising for Medikal to rain showers on the rap goddess, since they haven’t been in good terms in the past.

After Sista Afia dropped her WMT song months back to jab Eno Barony, the latter alleged Medikal was the Jeje hitmaker’s ghostwriter.

Eno Barony proceeded to slam Medikal in a subsequent song titled ‘Argument Done‘, but the rapper denied the allegations and further called Eno Barony a corpse.

After several turnouts on social media, the duo called it a truce, with Medikal admitting later that it was all planned for hype.

Meanwhile, Medikal is currently promoting his new song dubbed “Scarface”.

The musician was dressed in a tight wedding dress, which pushed out her raw cleavage.

She dressed contrary to her usual ‘tomboy’ style as she dons a wig and added a tiara for a princess effect.

Eno teased that all her embellishments including her bouncing breast are for her husband.

In an interview with Doreen Avio on Daybreak Hitz, the winner for Best Rap Performance at the 2021 Vodafone Ghana Music Awards said she hardly does a lot of features because fans try to pitch her against colleague rappers and make it seem as if they are scared of her.

She narrated that featuring someone on a song should not be seen as a competition, rather, it should be perceived as a platform to showcase each other’s rap prowess

“Please don’t be scared to feature me. I heard people are afraid to feature me. When we are doing the song, we are not there to kill each other. We are there to collaborate and make good music.”

According to Eno Barony, anytime she does a feature with a female artist, there’s no problem, but when it is with a male rapper, people tend to have different connotations about it.

“Anytime I do a feature with girls, it’s normal, but when I do a feature with a guy, then it becomes something else. When two rappers are on a song it’s like you’re putting your life on the line; you can be killed at any time.”

Eno Barony partly blames the fans for making it difficult for her to get features.

The rapper who is currently promoting her new song featuring Amerado is hoping to land a feature with American award-winning rapper, Kendrick Lamar, who is rumoured to be in Ghana.

She begged the fans to stop scaring rappers from collaborating with her on their songs.

“The fans are making it difficult for me to get the features. Please stop doing that.”

Ruth Eno Adjoa Amankwah Nyame Adom, known professionally by her stage name Eno Barony, is a Ghanaian rapper and songwriter.

Born in Tema, Accra, she released her debut single, “Wats Ma Name” and also “Tonga”, the remix of the track “Tonga” by Joey B ft Sarkodie in 2014, which lifted her into the limelight.

Clad in her brightly-coloured pink wig with a body-fit green attire, the rap goddess was more than poised to deliver.

Taking over the spot after Kuami Eugene’s showdown meant Eno Barony had to keep the crowd in the charged-up state till the show climaxed.

Meanwhile, Eno took little to no effort to electrify the huge crowd with her rap prowess.

With her favourite line ‘Won ti asie a deadi’ to wit ‘if you don’t understand, die’, Eno Barony thanked God for being the only female rapper to be a rap maestro in Ghana.

Some years back, she said she received a vision from a prophetess who claimed her action led to the demise of Major Maxwell Mahama.

She tweeted that she was informed by the said prophetess that bringing a coffin as a stage prop during the Ghana Meets Naija in 2017 was responsible for the late soldier’s death.

The prophetess told her that her scary ‘death and resurrections’ performance which made headlines for weeks was the cause of the Denkyira-Obuasi lynching which took place a day after her performance on May 29, 2017.

Her disclosure comes amid growing concerns about prophecies of doom from self-styled ‘Men of God’.

It also comes at the time discussions are ongoing about a prophecy that claimed dancehall musician Shatta Wale was going to die on October 18, 2021.

Bishop Stephen Kwesi Appiah alias Jesus Ahuofe, who gave the prophecy, has since been arrested with Shatta Wale who wanted to make light the situation, landing himself in trouble.

That attempt has since gotten him and his two colleagues, Kojo Owusu Koranteng, Idris Yusif and Eric Venator, remanded into police custody.

The trio had engaged in a shooting prank that left Ghanaians worried.

The location of the land is currently unknown, but Eno took to social media to show off the vast property in her name.

A video she took captured the moment she was inspecting the land very early in the morning, as she was still in her sleepwear and hair bonnet.

She wrote on her Instagram page that she started from small beginnings, but now she has accomplished enough to own one of her dream assets.

In a separate video, she announced her ambassadorial deal with a construction and estate company; where she is believed to have acquired the property.

Her fans have, however, been divided by opinions; a section congratulated her for the feat, while others encouraged her to keep her private life as such.

Though much has been heard of Eno in the music fraternity; and some fans can sing her songs word for word, they have been kept in the dark on key details of the rapper’s family.

The member of the Amankwah Nyame Adom family disclosed on Adom TV’s Ahosepe Xtra that most of her relations are deaf and dumb.

She made the revelation when asked by host Sister Sandy what her biggest fear in life is.

Eno made it public that her fear has always been losing her voice, since she is one of the few who has been blessed in her family.

She stated that despite their hearing impediment, her relatives are musically intelligent, and can dance perfectly on beat timings, despite not hearing any rhythm.

Rapper Eno Barony has dismissed reports that her new song ‘Ay3 Ka’ is a politically motivated song.

The song was released after Nana Akufo-Addo was declared the winner of the 2020 general elections thus people have linked it to the country’s political atmosphere.

It had lyrics like “stop fooling Nana is here” lyrics that many people say were shots thrown at the NDC after their flagbearer John Mahama lost the presidency.

Also, in the visuals, Ay3 Ka is written across the colours red, blue and white – the colours in the governing NPP.

However, Eno Barony told Andy Dosty on Daybreak Hitz that her words were picked from an old Akan saying and not a jab to any party or person.

The rapper explained she was only reiterating the adage that urges young people to listen to the elderly.

She added that “Nana” in the song refers to an old lady.

Eno Barony said she believes having songs with in-depth meanings have influenced her fans to go beyond the surface anytime she releases a song.

The self-acclaimed Rap Goddess beat nine other contenders across the continent to win the award.

These include Nakai (South Africa), Moonya (Senegal), Rosa Ree (Tanzania), Bombshell Grenade (Zambia), Muthoni Drummer Queen (Kenya), Askia (Cameroon), Candy Bleakz (Nigeria), Keko (Uganda) and Rouge from South Africa.

Taking to Twitter to share the news Eno Barony wrote: “The Best Female Rap Act in Africa @afrimma wow dreams come through. Thank u all for believing in me this is for Ghana.”

Reacting to her win, many fans say they are not surprised the rapper took home the award.

Many of them explained that her work during the year speak for itself.

Out of 25 nominations for Ghana, Eno was the only artiste who took home an award

The 28-year-old shared a throwback photo she took way back in her final year on the Kumasi Polytechnic campus, where she unofficially started her singing career.

Eno revealed all she knew about makeup was eyeshadow and lip-gloss which soon became her signature look.

The now plus-size woman said she was obsessed with the picture such that anytime a male counterpart required for her image, they were the first she sent.

Appreciating her fame and current stature, Eno has realized she has to totally put away her former favorite way of dressing – singlet and mini skirt.

Rap music in Ghana has over the past few months been ignited by some female rappers including Eno Barony, Freda Rhymz and Sista Afia.

But Eno Barony, arguably the best female rapper in the country currently, believes her hard work has pushed her to greater heights and believes it would inspire others.

 “I believe it is hard work that got me to this level. I feel it is good as it is going to pave way for the upcoming female rappers and to make them believe that they can also make it regardless of the industry being male-dominated,” she told GNA Entertainment in an interview.

Eno Barony appreciates how female artistes have been supporting each other but believes there should be more support if they were to compete with male rappers.  

“We need to put more effort into our music if we want to be on the same level as men and to also get equal treatment. We do support each other to some extent but comparing it to the guys I think there is more to be done,” she said. 

When asked about rappers who inspired her to do rap music, Eno Barony revealed that the likes of Abrewa Nana, Missy Elliot, and Sarkodie made her believe she could excel in doing rap music.
     

Eno Barony added that she would release an album in the coming months titled ‘Ladies First’ which features only female artistes and thanked fans for their support.

As the world has hieghtened the conversation on sexual assault and its related activities, more women, typically celebrities are opening up on their ordeal.

Self-acclaimed best rapper in Ghana, Eno Barony, has revealed her ‘swaggerlicious and tomboy’ nature did not excuse her from being a victim of near-rape.

Narrating her ordeal on Hitz FM, Friday, the ‘Fear no man’ hitmaker said the attempted rapist is an artiste who is ‘out there’, hence she refused to mention a name.

Her desire to collaborate with the popular artiste made her agree to come for a late night studio session, after he insisted an afternoon session is almost impossible considering his status and busy schedule.

Eno said she accepted the invitation, and in the first couple of minutes in the studio, she received warm reception.

“We discussed the studio so he picked me at the junction because then I had no car and we went there. He gave me food, then we were cool so I ate,” Eno recounted.

After her meal, Eno said she was offered gum, which she declined because it was too late, but the artiste insisted she chews before their session.

• He begged for only the ‘tip’ to enter but when that failed …

• Family in shock after finding their 10-year-old daughter dead in a…

When her refusal became persistant, Eno added, the artiste became charged and pounced on her with the intention of forcing the gum in between her teeth.

The artiste’s attitude, she learnt was because he had laced the gum with a sexual stimulant after he himself had already used an aphrodisiac.

Sensing danger, she fought back with her last strength to ensure her sexual life was intact, thereby overpowering him in the end.

According to her, though a lot of people have mixed feelings towards Kwesi Arthur’s feat, there is no need to hate him.

In an interview on Daybreak Hitz on Hitz FM, monitored by Adomonline.com, Eno Barony congratulated Kwesi Arthur for standing tall in a hot category of champion rappers.

When Andy asked how she felt after Kwesi Arthur’s name was mentioned as the winner, she only said: Congratulations to him.

The female rapper said though the plaque wasn’t given to her, she believes her rap prowess is second to none in the music industry.

But the queen of rap in Ghana now is a female though. It’s a system so he was nominated and won. He has it in his house and there is nothing I would say for him to bring it to me.

I was tipping Strongman to win, she said.

He said judging from the two artistes’ exploits in the year under review, he saw no reason why anyone should have won the catergory they were nominated.

King Promise had three nominations on the night; Highlife Artist of the Year, Afrobeats song of the Year, Male Vocalist of the Year – while Eno Barony was nominated for the Hip-Pop Song of the Year and Best Rapper of the Year.

“I am very disappointed that King Promise did no win his nominations on Saturday because the young man is doing very very well. Even his vocals and performance on the night was a testament to how good he is,” he stated.

He was speaking on Daybreak Hitz Monday: “Eno to me right now she is on top of her game when it comes to rap.”

The Abiba hitmaker said not winning should not discourage King Promise but rather encourage him to show the world more of his talent and at the right time, he will be recognised.

“Let this urge you on because one award will not determine you, keep on doing you and I think that you have it,” he said.

According to the rapper, who got engaged in a rap feud with the female rapper some few months ago, Eno Barony is a talented rapper.

In a tweet, he said: Yo! All jokes aside, Eno really dey rap! At a point, I thought she had a ghostwriter, Woman wey dey rap like that, he said and attached some fire emojis.

Eno Barony was adjudged best performer by many social media users on the first night of the three-day packed event, Vodafone Ghana Music Awards 2020.

The rapper’s dramatic entrance matched no other. She transcended into an wild state to prove her rapper prowess at the podium.

With her pink wig and overall black attire, the Queen of Rap proved she didn’t come to play when it got to her turn to perform to the virtual world.

The five-minute performance has since been the talk of the town with many comparing her talent to that of the dominant male rappers who have cemented their names across the country.

According to him, though the Tema based rapper is talented, his works under the VGMA’s 2020 calendar doesn’t tally with the award.

Kwesi Arthur emerged winner in a tough category which included E.L, Strongman, Medikal, Sarkodie, Teephlow and Eno Barony.

I am disappointed in the selection. I am not saying Kwesi Arthur doesn’t deserve to win. Eno has overworked… why are we discouraging? he quizzed on Daybreak Hitz show on Monday.

Lets go into the song and look at the brand as the rapper. Its about time they review the category definition. A rapper should be someone who goes toe to toe. Take your time and listen to Eno. I feel that award schemes should stop this, Mr Logic fumed.

I am not speaking as a PR but it hurts. The whole street of Accra was expecting a win for Eno and I don’t know why they will deny her good songs. Kwesi Arthur for sometime now, let me now sound fair, he hasn’t been a rap advocate. He is a good rapper but he hasn’t been rapping for sometime now.

I know about Grind Day, he hasn’t been active in the rap area for sometime now. I was thinking VGMA will give Eno what she is due. I have learnt to control my hope about VGMA expectations, he added.

The song, described as a quickie by many social media lovers, talks about how she was “snubbed” just two days ago when she was nominated for Best Rapper of the Year category.

On the awards night, she was tagged by many as the best performer when she appeared on the podium with a wild-fire performance cementing her rap prowess in the music industry.

Engulfed with the energy that she could win the Best Rapper of the Year, the award swerved her and the likes of Sarkodie, Strongman, Medikal, Teephlow, when Kwesi Arthur got announced as the winner.

Feeling disappointed, the female musician has dropped a new song dubbed ‘Game of Thrones’ to prove she is on top.

You should put an umbrella over my head and make all these bloggers my linguists. Tell my people that I am already reigning in the hearts of my followers. With the award, if you give it to me, I will take it, but if you don’t, I am still in the game [SIC], part of her lyrics said.

According to her, the best rapper in Ghana now is a female.

We fighting for the throne, but you already know who the King is. Four minutes into the show and the whole world talks about how the lady killed it.

Four bars ‘kraa’ you go feel me. No disrespect to no rapper but King of rap in Ghana now is a female. This is what we call a bitter truth and to accept it e go hard for you.

Addressing the VGMA snub, she likened it to a football match, thus: The referee says it’s a foul not a goal so what do I have to say? I am an icon and I don’t need to blow my own horns. If you say you are the best then who am I? she queried.

To the rap goddess, the hearing impaired have long been exempted in Ghana’s music and she feels the time for them to be recognised is now.

“Excuse me to say, there are deaf and dumb people and all so now I want to introduce sign language in my videos so that if you can hear you will if not you will just see,” she said in an interview with Zylofon FM

Explaining the concept, she said there will be an interpreter in her video who will act and signal according to her lyrics so the impaired can understand.

She announced the move as part of plans to bring a new twist to her music career, which will set her pace away from her colleagues.

Meanwhile, Eno revealed her former trick, which was beefing female artistes brought some ambassadorial deals, and she is hopeful her sign language tactic will be worthwhile.

Medikal says he sees nothing wrong with his description of Eno because it’s social media where people say worse things to his wife, Fella Makafui.

The AMG rapper explaining his reason for calling Eno “a corpse” said there is no reason [smoke] without fire and I said what I said because I was in my feelings.

The duo have been throwing indirect shots at each other after Sista Afia dropped her WMT song, which jabbed Eno Barony.

Sista Afia’s salvo perhaps pushed Eno Barony to allege that a Sowutuom rapper was the ghost writer who wrote the lyrics for the Jeje singer.

In a recent interview, Medikal said he knew Eno was talking about him because he is the only top rapper in Sowutuom.

I won’t just say something; there is no smoke without fire; I said what I said because I was in my feelings. I do not have any apology.

I don’t regret saying she is a corpse. People who love me love me. I cannot force people to love me. People call Fella worse things than that. I don’t even wanna talk about it.

You and that your wack Sowutuom rapper… if someone says that what do they mean? he asked rhetorically.

But Andy Dosty pointed out to the Omo Ada hitmaker that he is not the only rapper in Sowutuom hence Eno Barony could have been referring to anyone.

This comes after the raging rap beef between herself, Sista Afia, and Freda Rhymz as to who is the female rap goddess.

The service was during United Kingdom-Ghanaian based Rev Dr Abbeam Danso, founder of God’s Solution Centre’s live worship session dubbed ‘Let’s Worship’.

She stunned worshipers which included highlife and afrobeats singer-songwriter, Kidi as she sang old Ghanaian gospel ‘Kyer3 me W’akwan’ in a solemn manner.

Taking to Instagram to post the video, Rev Abbeam captioned it “God is great.”

The video has since attracted many followers and fans to commend the rapper on her versatility.

Watch the video below:

He explained ‘beefs’ are inevitable but when they surface, they should be left to only the key parties to settle their differences.

“Ghanaians focus too much on negativity rather than preaching togetherness. If people are beefing there is no need to choose favourites just let them do their own thing. It is not necessary to even talk of it in the first place,” he said in an interview with Adom News.

He said ‘beefing’ female musicians have talents which should be promoted because every other negative statement breeds hatred.

His comments follow artiste manager, Bulldog’s statement that he can put GH¢50,000 on rapper Eno Barony to beat any male musician in a lyrical war.

Dadie Opanka, who admitted Eno Barony is a good rapper, however, disagreed with Bulldog, saying “in our cultural setting a man will always win against the opposite gender.”

For about two weeks now, the three female rappers have been going back-and-forth with themselves as to who is the best rapper amid replying each other with ‘diss’ songs

However, to the Rufftown records signee, it is more of women empowerment than a beef between her colleague artistes.

The two female rappers have been engaged in throwing jabs at each other in an attempt to prove their prowess but one thing that brought Medikal into the picture was when Eno Barony mentioned him as the ghostwriter for Sista Afia.

The statement didn’t sit well with Medikal, especially when Eno Barony added that, it is Medikal she is even looking for to battle out.

Taking to Twitter to react to the ongoing scuffle, Medikal’s gesture proved he was disappointed at the ‘Heavy’ Load hitmaker.

Four years ago Eno linked up for a feature, gave her a verse and pulled up to shoot the video when called without charging a penny, never expected her to disrespect me in anyway, especially when I haven’t wronged you. This is why people don’t do good sometimes I guess.

You could have linked up again after all those years for another verse cuz I am hotter than I was back then ! But no, Human being, you would rather put dirt on my name for clout than get a hit song you can chop from.

So this is what’s gonna happen, you will probably do couple of ‘diss’ songs and direct them to me, and as we all know, Ghanaians will hail you and mock me to make you believe you are the bomb,whiles they still Jam to my music in their homes and parties.

The tweets didn’t end there as he initially opened up the thread with this:

Don’t ever think I will waste time recording a diss track to a female rapper, especially when the person looks like corpse. Issa dead tin.

This follows a rap feud between Sista Afia and Eno Barony, where the two female rappers went head-to-head to settle on who is the rap queen.

Just when Ghanaians thought the issue had settled, Medikal has added salt to injury.

In series of tweets, he said the female rapper could’ve taken advantage of the fact that he is a better rapper now to collaborate on a song but instead she chose to battle him for nothing.

To his fans, the Omo Ada hitmaker said:

Check out Medikal’s original tweet below:

Taking to Instagram after the ‘Heavy Load’ musician dropped her Argument Done track to prove her prowess in the rap industry, Sister Derby posted a message to laud her.

This comes as no surprise because Sista Afia had already jabbed Sister Derby in her WMT song, which debuted her onto the rap scene.

The Argument Done song seems to settle the score between the duo with regards to who the best rapper is. Eno Barony also called out Medikal saying he is the one writing songs for Sista Afia.

According to Eno Barony, Medikal should come out of hiding and face her head-to-head.
